Ethane is a hydrocarbon molecule with a structural formula consisting of two carbon atoms bonded by a single bond (C-C) and six hydrogen atoms bonded to those carbon atoms. The Lewis representation of ethane shows that each carbon atom has three valence bonds, with hydrogen
atoms filling in the remaining valencies. Regarding its structural characteristics, ethane is a nonpolar molecule
because the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen atoms is relatively small, leading to equal sharing of electrons within the C-H bonds. The structural structure of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its physical features, such as its comparatively low boiling point and high flammability.
